Sunshine on Tuesday, but that all changes Wednesday as rain moves in.
July 2016 Statistics
Looking back at the numbers for July, it was a very “average” month.
When looking at all of the days in the month, daytime highs averaged out bang-on our normal daytime high of 25.3 degrees.
Overnight lows were slightly above normal by 0.4 degrees at 12 degrees while our normal average is 11.6.
In terms of precipitation, we were slightly under our normal amount with 53.4 millimetres reported at the airport when normally throughout July, 60.3 millimetres of rain falls.
That’s still 89 per cent of our normal precipitation and coming off a much warmer and slightly drier June, is a significant trend back toward average.
